Time Breakershttp://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Time%20Breakers/Latest updates for this comic.en-usWed, 02 Nov 2011 00:00:00 -0700A slight page experimenthttp://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Time_Breakers/5364570/It's been too long. So I'm considering trying something new. Namely making the quick bottom panels a teaser upload and then replacing them with a full page later on, should things get delayed in the amounts they usually do. Don't know if the duck is going to let me. But if my audience thinks this could be&nbsp;good idea, I might just make the teasers in a stylish way (like this black and white and red version of what will be full color later) and upload the finished page as a separate page later. I really hope the duck with cooperate though, as if I delete a page I lose comments from my readers (which are IMPORTANT) and if I don't I have a filler between each page.
AND... It just occured to me I normally like to comment about the page in comic, rather than background type stuff. Anyways, there's things revealed in this update, see if you can figure it out.Wed, 02 Nov 2011 00:00:00 -0700http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Time_Breakers/5364570/Grapple Man's Stage: Tornado's Still in Troublehttp://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Time_Breakers/5339616/Grapple's really not interested in beating an opponent that stands no chance.
Well, Sorry again for the delay. I'd love to I'd managed to make a buffer but... Alas I have not. Just know I'm still trucking along and the next one will come.
Delay reasons: First up, To be honest, I really have no clue how this fight show have gone. It doesn't help that my only real knowledge of grappling comes from backdrop Kirby. Add to the fact throws require poses far different from the normal ones (Back views, crazy side views, can't just change a few parts of a the sprite, nearly have to resprite the whole THing)
Next biggest reason: Animal crossing: City Folk is an ass. Seriously. WHo's bright idea was it to make it THAT dependant on real time. Night/day hour, even week events, fine thats okay. But when taking a day off results in so much backwards progress.. UGH. >.< Compound that with the fact it takes 2 bloody hours for a town maintanance sweep, AND the game punishes you when IT errors. Then throw in the fact the store upgraded itself to the point it gets crappy hours.
Now if I wasn't a partial completionist, put so many hours into it, and the game was excellent otherwise, I'd probably just stop playing. But I want to see what the game has to offer. SO it stupidly eats up my time for very little progress.
Then there is Terraria. Which is AWESOME. And eats up my time by being a hybrid of Minecraft, Legend of Zelda, Dwarf Fortress and Castlevania. Can't complain about that though. I'm building a fortress with it.
I still have enough time to make comics if I decide to not play and give minimal maintaince to Animal Crossing, so I should be able to make a comic inbetween making comics for the WST.Wed, 15 Jun 2011 22:00:00 -0700http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Time_Breakers/5339616/Christmas 2010http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Time_Breakers/5300102/Merry Christmas!
I'm going to wish you all a Merry Christmas regardless of whether you believe today is special or not. Since I can still hope today will be merry for you all.And remember, it is not the presents you get but the good feelings behind them that matters! Even if there isn't actually a present in front of the good feelings.Fri, 24 Dec 2010 22:00:00 -0800http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Time_Breakers/5300102/Grapple Man's Stage: Grapple has more than one definition.http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Time_Breakers/5298523/Tornado man may soon regret trying to fight Grapple man. His stage may be easy for the flier, but the robot master is a whole different story.
Well, my goal of actually getting to the 100th comic by new years is pretty much a pipe dream (I'm still going to try though), but at the very least I managed to improve over last years update rate at this time of a year. Speaking of the 100th, including fillers I'm almost there, about 9 more to go so, I should mention I am in fact planning a Q and A 100th special, but with a twist (which is a surprise!). Not sure if I should in fact start asking for people to send in questions yet, due to my slower update pace, but I thought I'd let you guys know ahead of time. Use any means you can to send in a question. Also, just in case I get a PM swarm because of this... anyone who asked me to sprite something for them, might want to resend it if you still need it.
In other news, I learned a few new tricks in a sprite comicing competition, a few of which I've applied to this comic. Namely new Sound effects. Feel free to express your opinions on them.Fri, 17 Dec 2010 22:00:00 -0800http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Time_Breakers/5298523/Halloween 2010http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Time_Breakers/5287261/OKay the first thing you might notice is that this special seems unfinished. Thats because it is. I'm uploading what I have now so I have something for Halloween and for a bit of an explaination. Also I plan to update this page with more finished versions later, so check back on this one from time to time.
Now an explaination: I've entered the WST over at www.mgcomics.com, and as of writing this am waiting to see if I make the finals. And its pretty intensive. I end up making a fight sequence three times the size of the average page of this comic in about half the time. But its worth it. I'm learning a few new tricks that should help me turn out pages faster, so the upload pace should quicken after its over. So in the mean time check it out. I go by the user name Terminal Devastation over there.
ALSO a forum I regularly visit and many of you probably know of quite well, www.sprites-inc.co.uk,
is starting to pick up again. Just thought I'd mention them, since there's a large effort there to try to bring it back to its old glory days.
[edit] Now if I knew there were site troubles... I would have just reuploaded a finished version and none would be the wiser AND you'd all get your full enjoyement, but I didn't. Why does DD keep doing this? Hopefully it'll let me alter the page later.Sat, 30 Oct 2010 22:00:00 -0700http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Time_Breakers/5287261/
